I used to once upon a time.

For several months now, when using one of the two sides of the double sink in our master bathroom, you pick up a bit of a sulfur / rotten egg smell. The other sink has been fine to this point.

After double checking it, the relief is hooked up through hard copper and feeds back into a shared wall with a neighbor. where is goes from there is a bit hard to tell. Though I will also mention, the pipe coming out of the wall at the sink is PVC, It doesn't seem very likely, to me, that...
